Chapter 285: The Rules of the Second Son
In the capital, the situation has been very delicate recently, Xiao Xi's serious illness left the capital, which made Xiao Xi's party lose its leader all of a sudden and become at a loss. Song Shihong, one of Xiao Xi's right-hand men, was the official of the Ministry of Officials, and at this time, he wrote to the official. Although it has not been approved by the emperor, it is just a matter of delaying time, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that in less than two months, if you think about it, Song Shihong will return to her hometown, and in the capital, the power of the Song family will drop significantly.
Xiao Xi's henchmen were missing a heavyweight, and everyone was even more alarmed.
These people are all human spirits, they naturally know how to find a new master, and the first thing everyone thinks of is Qin Mingyue, who is the national teacher of the dynasty.
Nowadays, the status of the Star Picking Tower is getting higher and higher in the government and the opposition. Not only are the people convinced, but even in the imperial court, Qin Mingyue's ability to handle government affairs has also been recognized by hundreds of officials. Qin Mingyue is in power, and Qin Guosong, the Duke of Liguo, has also shown a wise mind, and now, the Qin family is a hot family in the capital.
The officials of Xiao Xi's lineage have tried their best to find the way of the Qin family. This made the families who were related to the Qin family lively.
Among them, including the Pingnan Hou Niu family. However, now the Niu family is in trouble. In the flower hall of Mrs. Bian of Pingnanhou in the upper room, there was a burst of noise.
Bian's annoyed voice came: "Qin, you are so bold, you actually dare to contradict your mother-in-law? ”
Qin Mingzhu was surrounded by pearls and emeralds, bright and gorgeous, but at this moment, she was staring at a pair of big eyes, and her face showed a fierce appearance, which ruined her beautiful appearance: "Hmph, against my mother-in-law? I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. I just told my mother-in-law that I wouldn't go to the countryside in Lake Province. I grew up in the capital. I, the daughter of the Qin family, how could I go to that kind of countryside to live? ”
The Bian family was about to be laughed at: "Are you still the daughter of the Qin family now?" You are already the daughter-in-law of my Niu family. As the daughter-in-law of my Niu family, can she still be as willful as a girl? Now, we want your second room to go to your hometown to manage the ancestral business, which is also the traditional rule of the Niu family, don't you know? ”
Qin Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and only said in a half-loud voice: "When are the rules, why don't I know about it for so long since I got married?" ”
Bian snorted coldly and said, "The whole capital knows about it. Our Niu family is not an ordinary small family, our Niu family is a hereditary family. However, it's not like your mother's Qin family, moving the entire Qin family to the capital. Our Niu family has only a few houses in the capital, and the rest live in their hometown. The hometown is the root of our Niu family. Therefore, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, our Niu family has had such a rule, and the second son has always taken his wife back to manage the property of the clan in his hometown after marrying. ”
"This is not to alienate the people in the capital and their hometown, and secondly, the people in their hometown and the people in the capital can communicate with each other, so that the successive generations of Pingnan Hou can take care of the people in their hometown. Third, it is also risky to be an official in the capital, and to keep the clansmen in my hometown is to protect the roots of our Niu family. Such a wise approach has always been appreciated by the high-ranking families in the capital. ”
"It's a well-known thing, you don't know, do you? Ah, by the way, I forgot, you don't seem to have been raised by your mother-in-law, but by a concubine who was born as a singer. How could a singer know about such a high-profile matter? I'm afraid that she only knows how to charm men, right? ”
Qin Mingzhu's face was flushed when she was said, and she wanted to refute her mother-in-law Bian, but she couldn't find the words to say. She really didn't know such a well-known thing. No wonder Bian would have taken a fancy to her identity like this. Also, the second son of the Marquis of Pingnan, with such a noble status, there are not many young ladies in the capital who want to marry her, and she is cheaper for nothing. In the past, she was still complacent about this, thinking that it was because of her beauty and her good luck. Now I understand, this is because everyone knows that the second son of Pingnanhou is going to the countryside of Hu Province, so none of the ladies in the capital are willing to marry Pingnanhou's family as the second son-in-law.
Qin Mingyue couldn't help but burst into tears.
Bian said, "Hmph, I'm still good to you." Originally, as soon as you got married, you should go back to Lake Province together. However, I thought that you were young and accustomed to life in the capital, which allowed you to stay for so long. Later, you are pregnant, I want you to protect the fetus first, and wait for the child to be born, who knows that you are blessed, and you didn't take the child, now you have a good body, and it is just when the weather is good, you should quickly pack your things to prepare to go back to Lake Province. If you wait until the second half of the year and the weather gets colder day by day, then it will be troublesome to go back. ”
Speaking of the previous miscarriage, Qin Mingzhu was even more angry, how could she have a miscarriage when she was so decent? You must know that when she was just pregnant, her mother-in-law Bian was very good to her. In addition, the Qin family is now thriving, and after Qin Mingyue became a national teacher, she became powerful, although Qin Mingzhu and the second sister were not in harmony, but she was still the sister of the national teacher, and everyone would look up to her. Even at the gathering between the ladies, her status was extraordinary, even higher than the sister-in-law, the serious Mrs. Pingnan Hou Shizi. It's not for the sake of her being the sister of the national teacher.
This kind of vanity made Qin Mingzhu complacent for a while.
However, since she accidentally had a miscarriage, her mother-in-law has changed her face towards her, and now she wants to send her to a remote place in the countryside of Lake Province.
Where can Qin Mingzhu be happy? However, in this world, filial piety is the greatest, and her mother-in-law asked her to go, where did she dare not go. Besides, her husband has known his mission since he was a child, and he has been actively preparing for a long time. Can she still stay alone?
Helpless, Qin Mingzhu could only grit his teeth and start preparing his luggage.
After Qin Mingzhu went out of the upper room, Bian breathed a sigh of relief, she was also afraid that Qin Mingzhu would tear her face and make trouble. The average daughter-in-law, mother-in-law can handle it. However, Qin Mingzhu is different, and now, the prestige of the Qin family is getting higher and higher, even surpassing that of the Shen family at that time. Such a tough mother's family made the Bian family dare not treat Qin Mingzhu like an ordinary daughter-in-law.
Now, it is naturally best for Qin Mingzhu to be willing to go back.
Bian's henchman said to Bian: "Madam, don't be angry, the second grandmother is still young, you have to teach it well." ”
Bian said with a cold face: "Young? She's young? When she got married, she was already in her twenties, and the average girl was already the mother of several children at this time. Is she still young? ”
"I was also dizzy at the beginning, how did I marry such an ignorant person for my second child? Not only do the ladies of the wealthy families know nothing about what they should know, the rules are lax, they can't manage housework, and they don't even know those means. If you say that she is a concubine and doesn't know what the ladies know, why can't the aunts be proficient? What a fool. ”
Mama can only smile dryly, this Qin Mingzhu has a flowery appearance, but in fact, she is a straw bag inside, which is stupid.
